Chapter TWENTY-ONE

PHILIPPE

When I arrived outside, Aria and Camille were entering a limo. I couldn’t help but follow Aria. I needed to be near her. I needed to talk to her, look into her eyes, and understand why I was completely obsessed with her. I needed to know where she was living, so I could watch her every move.

Rejection should lead to indifference. I shouldn’t care about that girl. But there I was, lurking in the shadows, bewitched by her image while entranced by her laughter and the sound of her voice. Something was different about her, and it wasn’t just the new hair color and her clothes. She was glowing and looking extremely attractive. It didn’t help that I had an obsession for red haired girls. It reminded me of Sophie, the only woman I had ever loved.

I couldn’t get Aria out of my mind. Wearing no eyeglasses, having her hair a beautiful red color, dressed elegantly, and seeming extremely happy also helped make me realized that I was the biggest jerk to ever walk the earth. There was my mate, looking like the most beautiful creature, and I had made the stupid rushed decision of rejecting her. Boy, if I was feeling stupid before, I was feeling like the king of the stupidity now!

I couldn’t shake the fact that Aria reminded me of Sophie. But how could two people be so different but, at the same time, be so alike? Aria’s eyes were brown, Sophie’s were green. Sophie had a really delicate face and tall figure. She was a redhead, but it was not as beautiful as Aria’s new bold red hair that made her look like a nymph. Aria was shorter than Sophie. Sophie was far more delicate and slim. My mouth watered just remembering how I would travel my fingers over Sophie’s neck, dipping my tongue in her cleavage and sending a million waves of pleasure to her face.

I’d spent decades building walls to conceal the pain that Sophie’s death brought to me. It’s been a while since I’ve allowed myself to remember her. I have tried to rid myself of my human past. Except for her. She was the only memory I couldn’t erase, even if Sophie was long gone and buried. No one knew she had ever existed, other than me. There was no family to miss her. Sophie was only a ghost I had long ago left in the shadows as a bittersweet memory. I had promised to never love a woman again.

I should stop thinking about my dead lover. On the other hand, Aria was alive, and she was more desirable than ever. Her skin was glowing when I looked at her as if some kind of energy was radiating off her body. She was different and it was not just in her appearance. She looked ethereal. Maybe she could fix me. Maybe she was the answer to my loneliness. I didn’t know, though. I had for a long time lost all hope about redemption or finding love again.
